Tommay

Cheers, got a code for a mate so hopefully he will be able to tune into it.

Tommay

Just saw the end of the press conference. Lewis was asked a question abut the relationship between him and adrian.

Old thread was locked so couldn't post it on that.

Don't think it topic worthy? Ignore it

Tommay

I hope he stays for 2014. I want to see him and vettel battle without any of the exhaust gasses blowing not the diffuser.

Tommay

Depends what you think he is good enough for. If we are talking about going there and becoming the undisputed number two to Vettel and being occasionally a front runner then yes I reckon that he is ready, but if we are talking about him being good enough to fight for the championship or to win mult...

Tommay

The undercut really. If you pit one lap earlier then your team mate and there is 3 pitstops, you've already created a 10-15 second gap probably more. That's why we keep seeing team mates drop of after the first round of pitstops.

Tommay

People seem to have very short memories. In 2011 there was lots of generally flat out racing, mainly to try in vein to catch Vettel. The Mclarens at Turkey 2011 were definitely flat out! Personally I think the 2011 tyre's were just about right. Drivers could push pretty hard and not destroy there t...

Tommay

Nope. I look forward to Ted's notebook the most of the after race coverage.

Tommay

I think this would be a more fitting link as it's not a hour long :-P http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/motorsport/formula_one/8737993.stm But it does seem in that race that they were racing flat out all the time and just having multiple pit-stops, but saying that that's what last years Canada race w...

After a bit of searching I managed to find a extended highlights of the race (For mods, it's hosted on BBC website so it is legal). Just thought it might be relevant after todays race, as this is what Pirelli were asked to do apparently. There seems to be a huge difference between what was asked for...

Tommay

I'm really starting to get tiddled of with this whole argument that button achieved more points then hamilton in the three year period. If they were both driving that Ferrari (in terms of reliability) then compare the points. However anyone who watched last season knows that they would be no where n...

Tommay

It's a silly suggestion. Even with the use of the DRS enormously cut back from 2012, the 2013 McLaren was exactly as fast as the 2012 one was in qualifying at Bahrain. There'd be absolutely no point. It'd (if it was modified to comply with the 2013 regulations) be slower. The McLaren would of been ...

The thing is other then the pull rod suspension to the 2013 car doesn't have a lot for 2014. If anything the 2012 car was better as it didn't have the high nose.

But it's even worse when the penalty is applied for neither the driver or the teams fault

Tommay

It's a disgrace really. I support a limit to the number of gearboxes and engines as it does not lose the teams much pace but cuts the costs by a huge amount. However when a drier gets a gear box penalty from a KNOWN problem with the tyres (button and max) it's just disgraceful really. If anything Pi...

Erm, it's not like this happens constantly and there's a trend of sad podiums.

Exactly

This was a controversial race, you don't really expect them to all be jumping around in happiness do you?

Tommay

No they shouldn't.

However they should ask him to give up the place if he is in front of a redbull 1-2

Tommay

On track action-8.

The race has been 10 with all the controversy

Tommay

Isn't this supposed to be racing until the chequered flag? :thumbup: this I don't care if you've led every lap upto the last.. The racing doesn't end until you cross the finish line If this was the over way round you would be saying it was fair. Honestly I don't know about this, Rosberg was clearly...

Tommay

As a Hamilton fan, I do think they should of let Rosberg past.

Tommay

I asked this earlier and no one replied, but will they have to start on the same inters they qualified on if it is inters start? ( for the top 10 of course)

Tommay

Can understand a rolling start but not 16 laps behind the saftey car. If thats required dont start at all. Can pirelli not make 'really extreme' wets? We can argue all we want about Pirelli and there tyres, however the wets and inters have been something they have really slacked on, they are quite ...

Tommay

SkyF1 getting drivers (Chilton yesterday and Massa today) to talk through their laps is fantastic. Really hope that's something they can keep finding drivers for over the course of the season, as it's always interesting to hear. Hoping the race stays dry, or if it does rain, it arrives after the ra...

Tommay

Is it true that if it is inters start all the front teams will have to start on the same tyres they qualified on? This won't be good for those who didn't pit as those inters are most probably gone already.

Tommay

I think with button is although he seems a nice enough guy of the track, he doesn't want to admit that anything was his fault. Let's face it have you ever heard him say it was his fault for anything that has happened on track. He even struggled to say it was his fault for the setup issues last year,...

Well done Sebastian in pole and win

Yes, however setting it up to the preferred set up can take a bit longer, and also not sure on how perc ferme rules work.

I think they will use Q1 for grid.

That would be unfair considering the circumstances at the end with the yellow flags etc

Tommay

There is one full throttle corner with standing water, I'm sure the best drivers in the world can figure there way round it

Tommay

Another 10 minutes, I'm pretty sure by the end of Q1 it will be inters now

Tommay

p0pmart wrote:Yay thanks for killing Q1 waiting way too long again, could've been very interesting yet they decide to garfield out as usual.

I think a 10 minute delay was justified, not the 20 minute delay we got

Tommay

It will be inters before the end of Q1 most probably

Tommay

I hope they don't wait till intermediates conditions....

How exactly would this help? Would it help get the problem fixed quicker...?

Nope, but it would give us a delay from this music!
